Abstract

The Duolingo application is one of the innovative solutions offered by advances in technology for educators to choose
alternative sources of teaching materials and learning media to support the process of teaching and learning activities
in schools. The formulation of the problem in this study is how appropriate the material on the Duolingo German course
is for teaching simple descriptive sentence writing skills for students of class XI semester II. This study aims to prove the
suitability of the Essen und Trinken material on Duolingo with the learning material needs of students according to the
2013 Curriculum. This research uses a qualitative research approach which is part of the literature study. The data
source used is learning material on Abschnitt 2 with a skill entitled Essen where the data is in the form of phrases,
sentences and exercises related to the Essen und Trinken sub-theme. Based on the results of data analysis, it was
concluded that the Duolingo German Course material for the Essen und Trinken sub-theme was in accordance with the
contents of the 2013 Curriculum material and was suitable for use as an alternative teaching material as evidenced by a
score of 92% using a Likert Scale. The results of the research on the wortschatz aspect found compatibility of 77
vocabularies which included verbs, adjectives, nouns and question words, and 10 vocabularies did not match. The
suitability aspect was also found in the structure of as many as 30 phrases and sentences which included Präsens,
Konjunktion, Trennbare Verben, and Imperativesatz, however, 3 sentences were found that were not in accordance with
the 2013 Curriculum. Thus, the Duolingo German course can be used as an alternative for students and educators in
looking for additional learning resources and learning media besides using textbooks.
